Jerry Logan is a senior this year.

There will be a lot of talk in the next few days about the Gordon/Salem State game.  Before that begins, readers should know that Coach Mike Schauer was not at the game because his mother suffered a severe stroke on Thursday evening and is still recovering.  Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Yes, Gordon will be back in session for that game.

To "anECfan",
I can understand your frustration with the frequent mentions of Gordon College.  Endicott fans have every right to post their discouragement.  As Maq has said before, GC fans are excited about their program right now after an excellent season last year, coming off 3 less successful seasons.  The board would seem less GC centered if fans from other schools posted more often. 
Right now there is a lot of talk of Gordon because, though their schedule may not be as stacked as other schools so far, the Scots are still 6-0 over all, 2-0 in conference and are still receiving votes for the top-25 poll.  In regard to conference play, last year the Scots lost only one conference game (to EC) in regular season play.  EC had 3 conference losses in regular season play with a total record of 19-10.  Gordon's loss to CSC in the conference tournament denied them a trip for the championship, though they still won an at large bid for the NCAA's.  Both EC and GC lost in the first round of the tournament. 
All that said, it is still much too early in the season to be making calls on the 2007 tournaments.  And, as you said, conference play has just started.  GC still has several hefty match-ups in their season, including Saturday's game with Salem State and a February match-up with Bates.  But EC also lost two of its top three players in Matt George and Zach Ellis. 

Only time will tell.

WIT @ GC

The Fighting Scots secured another victory over visiting Wentworth to move ahead to 5-0 for the second season in a row.  With a final score of 79-62, GC improved its quality of play yet again.  Four players scored in double digits with Marstaller leading with 19 points and 7 rebounds, followed by Jerry Logan, Mike Herr, and newcomer Aaron Trigg with 16, 13, and 12 points respectively.  Logan had a solid game playing all but one minute and Herr played all but four.  Trigg continued to impress both the crowd and coach Schauer, moving the ball well and driving to the hoop confidently after starting his second college game. 

The Fighting Scots travel to NEC on Tuesday.

I'm a GC alumna with my first post! I was also at the GC/Mitchell game last night, and though GC won by a wide margin, the first half of the game was a bit like watching my high school team.  Schauer must have had some strong words for the players at half, because the team completely stepped up their game quality!  It was also exciting that each player on the team had at least 3 minutes on the floor so early in the season.  No one had more than 2 personal fouls which is a great improvement from the last three games.  Like Maq said, our rebounding game has struggled in the past and last nights performance showed growth in the players.

Conference play starts Saturday with GC hosting Wentworth.  I don't know much about this team; any comments?
